STONE BREWING CO. - Pale Ale 2.0

#947

BROOKLYN BREWERY - K Is For Kriek      "Ale brewed with honey, dark candy syrup and orange peel aged in bourbon barrels on whole cherries."   Really nice aroma with a lot going on; lots and lots of cherries.  I really didn't  notice much from the barrel aging until it warmed then it had some nice bourbon and oak notes. Very tasty, very unique and complex with no notice of the 10.1 ABV. The only downside is the price, its expensive for a 750 ml bottle. Well worth trying once, but not one I would buy again although I would be very curious what some cellaring would do for it.

#933

BAUHAUS BREW LABS - Sky Five! Midwest Coast IPA     Nice, a real solid IPA.

#932

BASE CAMP BREWING COMPANY - In-Tents IPL         First beer I have tried from Base Camp. Very nice lager. Really like the aluminum bottle. I would have again anytime. Clean, crisp and refreshing. Like the slogan on the bottom of the bottle: "Soak in a mountain river. Chill in the snow. Cool off in a lake. Refrigerate if you have to."

Update

I was asked why I never post any music anymore that I'm listening to. Not sure why, I obviously did it when I started this blog, but kind of gave up when I finished that first year challenge (for those that are new, go back to the beginning) and just posted new beers. So, for the few that actually still check this out from time to time I will post some of what I'm listening to and some of the live shows I go to too.

#921

DESCHUTES BREWERY - Red Chair NWPA

SOUTHERN TIER BREWING COMPANY - Right O Way IPA

#919

STONE BREWING CO. - Southern Charred 2013.      2015 Double Bastard Ale aged in bourbon barrells with a 12.6% ABV. Great aroma, there is a lot going on. Great taste too, a little alcohol burn and some slight smokiness, but nowhere near as much as I was expecting. Very complex. Be interesting to see what some more aging does for it, but it was hard enough to find this one bottle.
